The Engineering Notebook:
What is it?:
The engineering notebook is a bound notebook used to document the design process. It is optional and does not have to be done in order to compete, win awards, and have fun. It is a lot of work and as a first year team, it is ok to not do one. However, there are a lot of awards that you can win with it found on of the judges guide.
How to Build a Good Notebook:
The judges will judge your notebook based on the rubric on [Page 43 ] of the judges guide. Keep all of these things in mind when doing the notebook. If your team decides to do a notebook, do it well. I know so many teams that have written in the first 5 pages and given up. It would be a commitment if you decide to start.
Always write in the pen while doing the notebook. Keep it clean and neat. You may want to look at Tips from other people and look at Other People’s Notebooks . Oftentimes you may want an entire team member dedicated to the notebook.
I think it needs way too much grammar!!!1
